Think you know SmallTownBrooklyn's neighborhoods? We'll do out best to provide you with tips as well as links pertaining to local sites of interest whether they be historical or just plain unique. For instance, did you know that the truck depot wall fronting the east side of Third Avenue between 1st & 3rd Streets was part of the original stadium where the Brooklyn Dodgers once played? The indentations in the wall were the ticket windows according to the late Brooklyn historical guru, Michael Mann. See the link at Forgotten New York:

2003 note: There's a good chance that Con Edison is going to take down this wall because it needs more room.

Or ever visit the steam generating building on the Pratt Campus, over in Clinton Hill? You'll find within an operating Victorian DC electrical generating plant worthy of Jules Verne! www.asme.org/history/roster/H025.html

Or the famous tunnel built in 1844 under Atlantic Avenue, running from Court Street to the Waterfront? There are even tours given by Bob Diamond of the Brooklyn trolley Museum. see www-tech.mit.edu/Subway/Tunnel/
